In this paper, a novel method is proposed for the detection of sea and inshore ships in satellite images which contain red, green, blue and near-infrared bands. For sea detection, an initial mask is obtained by thresholding the water index calculated using green and near infrared bands. At the second stage, models of sea and land learned via the initial mask are used in graph-cut method and a sea-land mask with high accuracy is obtained. Linear extension of the line segments on the sea-land mask boundary is aimed for the detection of inshore ships. For this purpose, line s

Inshore ship detection in high resolution satellite images Approximation of harbours using sea land segmentation BEŞBINAR, BERİL; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2015-09-24) This paper proposes a novel inshore ship detection method that is based on the approximation of harbour area with piecewise linear line segments. The method heavily depends on a very fine sea-land segmentation, which is realized in two steps in this work. First, an initial mask is generated by thresholding the normalized difference water index (NDWI) using the zero-level of available global elevation data. In the second step, border of the segmentation result is further enhanced via graph-cut algorithm sinc...
A new robust method for bridge detection from high resolution electro optic satellite images Gedik, Ekın; Cınar, Umut; Karaman, Ersin; Çetin, Yasemin; Halıcı, Uğur (null; 2012-05-09) In this paper, an automatic approach for identifying bridges over water in satellite images is proposed. The proposed algorithm has three main steps. It starts with extracting the water regions in the satellite image by thresholding the NIR and clustering the NDWI images. Next possible river and water canals in the extracted water mask are identified by certain geometric constraints. Finally possible bridge regions are extracted by morphological operations applied to the water and river-canal mask....
Ship detection in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images by deep learning Ayhan, Oner; Sen, Nigar (2019-01-01) In this paper, we propose a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based method to detect ships in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. The architecture of proposed CNN has customized parts to detect small targets. In order to train, validate and test the CNN, TerraSAR-X Spot mode images are used. In the phase of data preparation, a GIS (Geographic Information System) specialist labels ships manually in all images. Later, image patches that contain ships are cropped and ground truths are also obtained from pr...
Sea Detection on High-Resolution Panchromatic Satellite Images Using Texture and Intensity Besbinar, Beril; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2014-01-01) In this paper, a two-stage sea-land mask detection algorithm on high resolution panchromatic images is proposed. An initial mask is generated using texture features in the first stage and this mask is refined by using intensity values in the second stage. Image is divided into windows and the Local Binary Patterns (LBP) histograms, evaluated at each window, are modelled using the sea and land sample spaces obtained by the altitude information which has very low resolution compared to the image. These models...
Discontinuity mapping with automatic lineament extraction from high resolution satellite imagery Karpuz, Celal (null; 2004-09-01) In this study, automatic lineament analysis is performed by using high resolution satellite imagery for identification of rock discontinuities. A case study area is selected as an Andesite mine area in Gölbaı, Ankara, Turkey. For the high resolution data 8-bit Ikonos Precision Plus with 1 meter resolution orthorectified image is used. The image data contain three bands as blue, green, red as band 1, band 2 and band 3, respectively. Then an additional band (fourth band) for the image is assigned by obtainin...
